About Me: My name is David Hoffmann and for the last decade I have been traveling around the world in search of unique culture, food and history! Since starting Davidsbeenhere in 2008, I have traveled to 71 countries and over 1,000 destinations, which I welcome you to check out on my YouTube Channel, blog and social medias.
I focus a great deal on food and historic sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, whether it’s casual Street food or gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning the local history and culture.
Alright guys, now my name is Tito.
I'm usually the sound guy for David, but he's running a little late.
He's in Piran right now.
But don't worry about that, you're in great hands.
I'll take very good care of you.
Now let's go inside Ristorante Villa Andorre
and let's see what the chef's got cooking in the kitchen.
Come on.
♪♪♪
Waiting for David.
Late, man.
Talk to you later.
He should be here any second, man.
Oh, wait.
Oh, there you are.
What's up, man?
Took you so long, bro.
Real bad weather, man.
Oh, thank you, sir.
Perfect.
Thank you.
So what'd you order, man?
That calamari you like.
Oh, you're lucky.
I like that.
I know, sir.
How's this bread?
Delicious.
Oh, olive oil.
Oh, thank you.
And white pepper.
Perfect.
Thank you.
You are the man.
Remember, when in Slovenia, you have to try the white Slovenian wine.
It's a tad bit better than the red one.
Like this?
Okay.
Can I open it?
Perfect.
So this white wine is from Istria,
which is Slovenian Croatia, the northern western part.
Let's see it.
Okay.
I'll give you to try it.
Look at that.
Yes, sir.
Super clear.
Light wine.
Like David, baby.
That's how we do it.
It's got it with the fish.
Delicious.
Okay.
So it's great with fish.
Remember, white Slovenian wine with fish on the coast.
Not the red one, baby.
A big no-no over here.
Just with the meat.
Thank you, sir.
So red only with the meat.
Yeah, it's not.
But the white wine is better.
With the fish?
Yes.
I mean, Slovenian white wine is better than red wine.
Yes.
I'm better than Slovenian, all right.
A toast?
To Vilandor.
I agree.
Cheers.
All right, food just got here.
It looks incredible.
Tito, what did you get?
Well, I got a pasta...
What was it again, sir?
Andor.
Pasta Andor.
And this pasta happens to have a variety of seafood,
which looks amazing.
I can't wait to chow down on this.
All right, let's do it.
Let's do it.
I don't even need a fork.
Nice.
All you pasta lovers out there with seafood,
you got to have this plate.
Amazing.
Words aren't invented for how good this is.
Just try it for yourself.
Make sure you come over here.
So, David, what did the waiter bring us here?
He brought us gruda, which is grappa,
from Slovenia with an herb inside it.
And he brought us liquor refosco,
which is liquor made out of red wine,
homemade.
So what do you suggest we do with these things?
We're going to try this one first.
I agree.
It's very, very strong.
We got to be careful here.
This is under the supervision of professionals,
ladies and gentlemen.
Remember that.
Cheers.
Down it.
It's not bad.
That one made the hair stand up back on my neck.
Hello?
Oof.
Basta.
Sir, and a cheers to Carlos.
We'll sip it slowly.
For doing a great job.
This is for you, buddy.
It's to perfection, huh?
It is very delicious.
No?
Wow.
Never had anything like this.
Tastes sweet, guys.
Suggest you come and try this.
So guys, what do you think?
Going to come to Slovenia?
You definitely come here.
The Ristorante Villa Andorra.
Where have you been?
You need to tell me where have you been,
because if you don't tell me right now,
then you haven't been anywhere,
especially over here.
So one more time.
Where have you been?
Come on, tell me.
See you later.
Let's go.
